Review of The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother (1975) by Kevin M. W — 16 Jul 2014

Silly ? Yes. Eccentric humor ? Yes. All done by Gene Wilder, Marty Feldman and Madeline Kahn ? YES ! I love this movie, its a gem that's often overlooked because it was sandwiched between Wilder's funniest movie "Blazing Saddles" and his Richard Prior collabs.

However I found this movie to be witty and almost has this Monty Python feel to which helps as the story drifts a bit with Wilder and Feldman work on a case to expose Moriarty. Madeline Kahn does one of her best work in the opera scenes with Dom DeLuise and her cutesy scenes with Wilder are goofy, but its Wilder and Feldman who steal the show like the Tuxedo/Buzzsaw scene that had me dying.

Its not the most drawn out movie and neither is it the most tight on storyline but it holds up and is really worth checking out.
